As wife, mother, and daughter, an English literature professor's well-ordered life is the subject of this witty dramatic essay. Her role as a liberal educator within a prestigious New England college is disrupted when she accuses a student of plagiarism. But her assumption that an athlete is incapable of scholarly merit begins to unravel as her pupil retaliates with charges of reverse discrimination and harassment. Deftly skewering both ends of the political spectrum, the late Wendy Wasserstein's drama offers provocative insights and challenges, that even the most open-minded of people possess bias and intolerance.
